Turkey: 12 to 14 pound turkey, neck, heart and gizzard used in stock 2 medium onions, peeled and chopped 3 stalks celery, chopped 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped 5 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided 2 3/4 tsp. dried thyme, divided 2 3/4 tsp. dried sage 24 black peppercorns 6 allspice berries 2 bay leaves, crumbled 1/2 tsp. pepper
Gravy: 3 cups turkey stock 5 tbsp. all purpose flour Chopped giblets and neck meat from turkey stock
Directions
For Stock: Combine turkey, neck, heart and gizzard with broth in a large saucepan and heat to a boil. Skim scum off top. Add onion, parsley sprigs, bay leaves, thyme, sage, peppercorns and allspice berries. Reduce heat and simmer 75 minutes. Transfer turkey parts to a medium bowl and cool. Chop heart and gizzard. Remove meat from neck and chop. Add to other meats. Strain stock and skim off fat to equal 3 cups, adding additional broth if necessary. Reserve stock for gravy.
For Turkey: Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Mix together onions, celery, carrots, 2 tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. thyme, 2 tsp. sage, peppercorns, allspice berries and bay leaves in a large bowl. Spoon half of vegetable mixture into turkey cavity. Tie or skewer cavity closed. Stir together 3 tbsp. oil, 3/4 tsp. thyme, 3/4 sage and pepper in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over turkey. Place turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan. Arrange remaining vegetable mixture around turkey and pour broth over. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roast turkey about 2 hours 30 minutes, basting every 30 minutes, until turkey reaches 165 degrees and juices run clear. Transfer turkey to platter and tent with foil. Let stand 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare gravy.
For Gravy: Add turkey stock to roasting pan and heat to a boil over 2 burners, scraping bottom. Remove from heat. Transfer 4 tbsp. fat from pan to a small saucepan and stir in flour. Cook 2 minutes, whisking. Strain in juices from roasting pan and whisk until smooth. Simmer until thickened, about 25 minutes, whisking occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in giblet meat.
Carve turkey and serve with pan vegetables and gravy.
Serves 8 to 10.
